[Steam-engine] relief valves

[Ken Majeski]

Well..... I have had one of them New Defective valves on my 24 Minnie since 
1986... Thats 18 years... It is not used as a Pressure regulater but does go 
off on occasion. The one on my Case has been there since 1995. Niether one 
has given me any problems. They are Kunkle and not the highest priced ones 
either.

My 24 Minnie and the Hopeless Case should be running this Saturday if anyone 
is in this area you can see firsthand..... We have about 5 Loads to Thresh 
and a Big skidway full of logs to saw.....
